A NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT.

TO MILKING MACHINES. EDITOR OF N.Z. DAIRYMAN GIVES HIS OPINION. Mr. F. W. B. Greville, the well-known dairy expert and editor of New Zealand’s dairying journal, the N.Z. Dairyman, reviews in this month’s issue a remarkable new’ device which has just been invented. The article referred to reads as follows: — “Perhaps the most notable improvement made in milking machines during the last few years is that recently inadq for preventing the teat cups from falling off. It is one of the main talking points of milking machine salesmen that the cups of their particular machine never fall off, but the dairy farmer who has to use them twice a day knows that they all fall off, especially in the autumn. To overcome this difficulty a clever farmer, with a turn for mechanics, has patented a contrivance which he has aptly called the ‘Kannotfall.’ “The name chosen exactly describes the use of the latest new device. In putting this useful adjunct to the milking machine on the market, the inventor had apparently three things in mind which he felt were necessary to ensure success—lightness, neatness and adaptability, and a glance at the diagram issued with j.he appliance shows that all these three requisites have been attained. When not in use, the ‘Kannotfall’ will occupy less space in the bail than an umbrella does when it is closed, while it is brought into action quicker than one can open an ordinary pocket knife.” “No dairy farmer who uses machines requires anyone to tell him what a nuisance and loss of time it is to have the cups fall off, to say nothing of the insanitary conditions that follow in the train of such accidents, and, therefore, this new trouble and time saver will at once appeal to them. Last, but not least, this new aid to the dairy fanner can be supplied through the post for 655, and can, with confidence, recommend every reader to send for one, so that he may try it out in hia own shed. A week’s trial will, wc are sure, satisfy the user that there should be one in each bail. • “The ‘Kannotfall’ may be procured from the Wairanapa Farmers’ 00-op. Association.
